Artist: The Nightwatchman
Song: The King of Hell
Album: The Fabled City
Capo 1
Released from reason, alive with pain
The actors change, the play is the same
As he and his ministers converse, I peaked out from behind the well
And oh how I surprised to learn, the devil's not the king of hell
Chorus:
The devil is not the king of hell, the devil is not the king of hell
A violent dance of slippery stones, the line's gone dead we're all alone
The devil is not the king of hell
Smellin' victory, the engine hums
Of in the distance, they beat the drums
Amidst the blood and rubble I look for souvenirs to sell
And oh how I surprised to learn, the devil's not the king of hell
Chorus
Oh black was the mark, black was the mark, black was the mark, laid on Cain
Black was the list, black was the list, black was the list, with our names
Oh black was the mark, black was the mark, black was the mark, laid on Cain
Black was the list, black was the list, black was the list, with our names
Chorus
Tonight I'm gonna do some things, that I've never done before
I'm gonna find out what the screamin's about on the other side of that door
So don't you bother callin' there ain't nobody home
Sometimes we got to stand together, sometimes alone
The devil is not the king of hell, the devil is not the king of hell
A violent dance of slippery stones, the line's gone dead we're all alone
The devil is not the king of hell, the devil is not the king of hell
A violent dance of slippery stones, The line's gone dead
The line's gone dead, the lines gone dead
The line's gone dead, the line's gone dead
The devil is not the king of hell
